to LCWD for facilities to develop and
convey groundwater in Tule Desert and
Clover Valley hydrographic basins to
private land for community
development on the Lincoln County
Land Act tract (identified as the Toquop

The volume of water to be transported
through the proposed facilities could be
up to 24,000 acre-feet per year, as
authorized by the State of Nevada Water
Engineer for appropriation and use by
LCWD.
LCWD has applied to the BLM for

2004, Title V of the Federal Land Policy
and Management Act of 1976 and 43

water storage tanks, booster stations,
and access roads; 138 kV, 22.8 kV, and
4.16 kV power lines and a power
substation; a natural gas pipeline;
underground telephone lines; and a
telemetry system utilizing a fiber optic
line.
